I totally support this, but I also find it ironic that Facebook would 1) make lots of people sad and then 2) monitor them for suicidal ideation.

I see the irony as well, but from a purely business standpoint, it makes sense. If Facebook gains and keeps a reputation of being intensely bad for mental health, it will lose market share in the long run as regulation passes limiting its scope.

I sentence you to penance for your heresy.

Please watch "Soylent Green" and "The Matrix" and come back with a good reason for why corporations should be allowed to commercialise death services.

They want to make people sad, and addicted, but they don't want to make them so sad they'll commit suicide.

From a business perspective, they want to make them depressed, dependent, but alive.
